NASA Moon "Bombings" Tomorrow: Sky Show, Water Expected

John Roach for National Geographic News

With its "bombing" of the moon early tomorrow, NASA's LCROSS mission may beat a telltale signature of water out of a shadowy crater—and all you may need to see it is a good backyard telescope.

LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) and its rocket will begin slamming into the South Pole just after 4:30 a.m. PT.

The LCROSS collision should reveal how much water ice exists in the permanently shadowed craters of the moon. Some theories suggest the lunar pits hold vast stores of water. the rest NASA image

I really hope that there are no bad effects from bombing the moon. It just seems insane.
